The objective of this draft is to describe mechanisms for exchanging
routing information between IP routers and optical networks,
and between optical sub-networks. Such information exchange would
allow automated establishment of end-to-end paths in an optical
network comprising of multiple sub-networks. Furthermore, it would
allow optical network clients, specifically IP routers, to discover
their remote peers dynamically. Determination of reachability could
be the first step in dynamic provisioning of optical paths using
signaling.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
